Make sure that you have access from all machines on your local network allowed to the CUPS system ( iago is the machine with the printer attached ):- [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ $ cat /etc/hosts.allow ALL: LOCAL
Make sure that the config file at: /etc/cups/cupsd.conf on the print-server machine allows it too. Later versions of CUPS transmit the data and logins across the local network securely, so you will need to set up the keys appropriately. Make sure that you have both the printer queue and the protocol on the server expressed correctly on the client. ( The example shown on the CUPS config web page is _WRONG_ ) On the version of CUPS ( 1.3.4 ) I have installed here it's:- ipp://iago.csnet:631/printers/hp-4mp There is a copy of the now out-of-print, yet very informative, CUPS book in the Mt. Albert CRI. It's available by interloan from your local public library. I found it to be a veritable tome, but all the information needed to set up your CUPS printer is buried in there.
